I will say the classroom space is lovely. Otherwise, I was pretty underwhelmed by my child's time at NCH. I think it can probably be a nice experience if you fit into the right mold that they are looking for. If your child might have separation anxiety when starting preschool or take a little while to adjust to a new school I would save yourself the stress and look for a more nurturing, inclusive environment. I have never seen such anxiety from preschool teachers when kids weren't 100% on school procedures from the first day of school or used materials in a different way than they had envisioned! Lots of emphasis is put on being able to sit quietly through extremely long circle times and work times. Time to move your whole body is quite limited and only available in an indoor gym where you are required to be quiet while you play.
